Do you have a Wooden Obelisk Aftercare guide?
Yes, there is! Our Wooden Obelisk aftercare guide can be viewed by Clicking Here.
What is the finial choice of Wooden Obelisks?
We offer three finial choices on our bespoke bird tables which are the ball, acorn or unique.
What is a Unique Finial?
As well as offering the traditional Ball or Acorn final we also offer the choice of a unique finial.
Each unique finial is uniquely designed and handcrafted by our in-house carpenters using our top of the range lathes. No unique finial is exactly the same so if you choose a unique finial, our carpenters will choose a design based on their own design flare at the time.
Are Wooden Obelisks secured into the ground?
Due to the weight of the timber used to handcraft each of our bespoke wooden obelisks, securing down the wooden obelisks is not necessary.
What are the lead times on Wooden Obelisks?
For our current lead times, please refer to the section in the FAQ page named Lead times.
What wood are the bespoke wooden obelisks made from?
Our bespoke Wooden Obelisks are handcrafted using a range of softwood and hardwood.
We ensure that all of our wood is treated for wood knots, undercoated in Farrow & Ball exterior primer undercoat followed by a minimum of three coats of Farrow & Ball exterior eggshell paint.
All of our timber is FSC Certified and hand-picked by our carpenters from our local timber merchants.
What designs and sizes do you offer?

What size Wooden Obelisk would you recommend?
The size of the wooden obelisk depends on the climbing plant and the height you would like your climbing plants to grow.
For centrepiece displays, we would recommend a larger obelisk to allow the climbing plant to take full advantage of the obelisk height.
How are Wooden Obelisks made?
All of our Wooden Obelisks are uniquely handmade by our in house carpenters in our Lincolnshire workshop.
Each of our bespoke products is crafted using handpicked sustainably sourced FSC certified timber from our local timber merchants.
The timber is treated for wood knots and then painted in Farrow & Ball primer undercoat followed by a minimum of three coats of Farrow & Ball exterior eggshell paint of your choice.
How are Wooden Obelisks painted?
All of our bespoke garden products are individually hand-painted using the traditional wooden paintbrush. This begins by undercoating each product using an exterior primer undercoat.
Once dried, this is then followed by a minimum of three coats of Farrow & Ball Exterior eggshell paint in the selected range of colours.
Do you sell unpainted Wooden Obelisks?
At the moment we only sell fully painted bespoke Wooden Obelisks.
Do Wooden Obelisks require maintenance?
Wooden Obelisks will require maintenance from time to time, for more details please Click Here to access the Wooden Obelisk aftercare guide.

What are Wooden Obelisks?
Wooden obelisks are a unique pyramid-style wooden structure to allow climbing plants to climb up to allow the plant to take full advantage of the height of the obelisk.
Do I need to assemble the Wooden Obelisks?
All of our wooden obelisks are hand delivered fully assembled allowing you to use your wooden obelisk straight away.
If your order is delivered via courier, the wooden finial will be placed into a small box to prevent being damaged.
The finial will have a double-ended screw to allow you to twist the finial by hand into place once the wooden obelisk is positioned.
Do you deliver all year round?
We hand deliver our Wooden Obelisks all year round except during January and times of extreme weather conditions.

I purchased the Windsor Wooden Obelisk, 7ft in French Gray for my climbing rose in my front cottage garden. I am absolutely delighted with it, the service was great and it was delivered as promised on the correct day and time. It is attracting lots of attention from passers by.
The obelisk is stunning and looks fabulous mixed in with my roses. The quality of the craftsmanship is excellent and well worth the price for a handmade item.
I will be ordered more soon for my back garden as it is so nice.
Thanks Dominic!

I bought four 5ft obelisks without first viewing and I have to say they look superb. They quality is first class and they were delivered by their own van and staff avoiding risk of damage and loads of packaging to get rid of.

Having shopped around for obelisks, I went for Robinsons and I’m so glad I did. Although more expensive than many on the market, they just don’t compare in terms of quality and longevity. These really are quality products that will continue to look stunning over the test of time. Solidly built, they are crafted precisely and neatly – I would thoroughly recommend.

Had wanted an obelisk for a long time. I thought long and hard about whether to spend the money on it. When it arrived, all doubts went out of the window. It truely is beautifully made and head and shoulders above anything else I’ve seen. It looks gorgeous and I will be returning to purchase more of them. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Excellent 7 foot version looks great in the garden. Production time was quite long but worth it. I was away when delivered and Nigel carefully hid it in my front yard and sent me a photo.
Now I just hope the roses grow!

Excellent product, we are so pleased with the result. A long wait but certainly worth it, first class craftsmanship. Looks fabulous behind a low clipped hedge.
Thank you all at Robinsons.
